Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
Generational curses, and blessings pertain to every human being, for all of us are affected, one way or the next by the doings of our progenitors. This fact is inescapable and should thus serve the purpose of causing persons to make wise choices, knowing that not only ourselves will be affected, but also those of our children who may come after us.
Choices and decisions made by parents are like unto throwing a pebble into a river with the ripple effects to be seen and felt far and wide. When parents may choose to do good, by loving and serving God, they set in motion a train of mercies and blessings which extend to thousands of generations, long after those parents are dead and buried.
God does not forget His tender mercy to those who love and obey Him, and even when the up-coming generations may forget, God’s mercies are still to be extended to their offspring for they are beneficiaries of God’s grace, in behalf of the faithful who went on before.
Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
May God add his blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
